Performance Information
Celebrating 18 years together as a band, Celtic-American Roots music group, Runa, continues to push the boundaries of Irish folk music into the Americana and roots music formats. Interweaving the haunting melodies and exuberant tunes of Ireland and Scotland with the lush harmonies and intoxicating rhythms of jazz, bluegrass, flamenco and blues, they offer a thrilling and redefining take on traditional music.
Seeking to preserve and continue a traditional culture in a modern age, Runa creates the backbone of its signature roots sound from the musical and geographical diversity of its individually established band members. Their strive for excellence and creativity blazes a trail for the future of folk music, earning them the reputation as one of the most innovative Irish folk groups of this generation.
Runa consists of vocalist and step-dancer Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia, Grammy-nominated Dublin-born guitarist Fionán de Barra, Cheryl Prashker of Canada on percussion, Jake James of New York on the fiddle and Tom Fitzgerald of Canada on mandolin and vocals.
The group has been honored internationally, winning Top Group and Top Traditional Best LIVE Album, Best World/Traditional Song and Best Bluegrass Song.
